MARGARET MATHER
Margaret Mather always draws crowded
audiences in Portland, the young actress
having proved great favorite here from
her very first appearance. The sale of seats
for the three performances, for next Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday will begin at
the box Office this morning at $50 O'Clock,
and there will doubtless be long line in
waiting at the hour. Speaking OF her Roas-
lind in which character she will appear
Monday night, the Providence Journal said
''Not only was she charming in doublet and
hose in her masquerading in the forest of
Arden, but her scenes with Orlando were
beautifully done, and in looks, voice, and
manner she appeared the ideal Rosalind
Her archness, piquancy, coyness, the half
conscious tendency to betray her sex when
alarmed, and her blithe, joyous spirit was
most amusing, and when she skipped like a
cnlu mere duu Inere through the forest she
was particularly captivating. There was
nothing to mar the beauty of her perform
ance, and her actions and words were sup
plemented by her eyes and pouting lips in a
fascinating yet purely innocent way She
frequently moved the large audience to
laughter and applause and was once called
before the curtain"
